Strasbourg, France day ... 3/5? I can't remember.

Petit France
 Good for an evening stroll unless you are a die-hard souvenir buying fan then come a bit earlier. This photo was taken at the river along Petit France. Other than dining, coffee and drinks, summer river smell might get a bit too much for some.

 Duckie mama and baby duckies!

Never to miss Bratwurst whenever you see it!


 Le Sahara

Cous cous for one? Damn I have to learn some French next time if I intend to visit France again!? Could have fed a family of 10. Tajine, cous cous, awesome mint tea, many heaps more Moroccan food. This is at Le Sahara (HALAL) 3 Rue Marais Vert, 67000 Strasbourg, France
+33 3 88 22 64 50 ‎. This restaurant is listed in most Halal Restaurant lists located in Strasbourg.
 Prime d'or

To my Muslim friends, if you end up in Strasbourg, this restaurant is halal. Prime d'or. Just ring the number in the picture.
Ipad 2 prices in France as at May 2011! It is crazily expensive. Let me do the conversion.

The cheapest will be 16Gb Wifi at 489 euros which will equivalent to 489*4.4 = RM2,151 - 12% VAT and you would be paying approximately RM 1,893 for a basic model. So for those people that think going to Europe you might find ipad 2 to be cheaper, think again. Sorry bout the quality of the photo cause the guard was staring at me, the 64gb wifi + 3gb is selling for 813 euros. Even if it came with a free Smart Cover it is still not worth it. Come to Malaysia to buy!!!

Hello empty space!

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. Been doing a bit of travelling for my honeymoon and to be honest besides all the sucky stuff, I really had a good time, enjoyed it to the fullest and got to learn even more about my other half who is now legally my life partner.

Strasbourg, France. Day 1&1 1/2


This is apparently one of the biggest train stations in the whole of France. It is huge but not that big but anyway, we stayed somewhere near the Gare Centrale maybe just a 5 minute speed walking would bring you to the motels/hotels and 'not very French' type of cuisine. You'll get a lot of Indian, Moroccan, Kebabs and little grocery stores. If you only eat Halal, there are heaps of restaurants to feed you. I stayed at Rue Khun so around that vicinity, heaps of Halal food.

We arrived there on a Friday morning and mind you...everything seems so quiet. Kinda weird on to be in a City which is quiet on a Friday....until we realised the City was the other way round. What a joke but anyway, it was just 15 minutes to the little town where you get the Galleries La Fayette and Printemps. Equipped with my fully loaded ipad2 with 'Strasbourg' apps to bring me around I still got lost and never got to find the museum of Tomi Ungerer!!! Bummer.



The Kleber Monument...can't really remember what it's about but its probably the most recognisable meeting point if you're on a shopping adventure around the streets. 


This was taken on a Saturday evening...guess everyone went home for dinner.


Me and my first Ice-cream in France staring at the Notre Dame Cathedral not to be confused with the one in Paris.




 Hen's outing. Seems like so much fun
 Street cafes just right opposite the cathedral. What a peaceful place to be sipping on good coffee.

A photo I took of a mobile kiddies stand. Somehow the picture depicts to me, a crazy Snow White who is overweight and she has with her 7 dwarves who are old men that are on a sex deprivation and about to screw her after their meal.


Hahaha vandalisme at the traffic lights next to the Cathedral.
